Warba Bank announced the successful closure of subscriptions in its Warba Islamic Income Fund, a Sharia-compliant fund designed to provide professional investors with attractive quarterly dividends over a five-year period. The fund, the first of its kind, aims to generate stable returns by deploying first lien, senior secured financing arrangements to medium-sized private companies in the United States and Europe, balancing high returns with controlled risk.
The total value of the fund is US$200 million, increasing Warba Bank’s total assets under management to approximately US$1.7 billion. This reflects the bank’s ongoing commitment to delivering diverse investment opportunities tailored to client needs and marks a new milestone in the bank’s expansion journey.
Commenting on this milestone, Thuwaini AlThuwaini, Chief Investment Banking Officer at Warba Bank, said: “The Warba Islamic Income Fund has garnered significant interest as it offers investors access to a diversified portfolio of companies in stable sectors across the United States and Europe.
